Chapter 199 The Murderous Tyrant x The Unfavored Concubine in the Cold Palace 15
Side Hall of Yi'an Palace
Concubine Rou has been ill for a while. Because she is not favored by the emperor and her position is not high, and the servants in the palace are all flatterers and bullies the weak, her life is a mess.
After drinking the medicine brewed by Jianshu, Roupin couldn't help but coughing violently.
"Jian Shu, I'm sorry for having to serve me despite being so badly injured."
Jian Shu put away the empty bowl expressionlessly and said softly, "This is what I should do."
"My queen, since you have no intention of competing for your favor, I am willing to fight for it for you. Please give me a chance."
Concubine Rou frowned in confusion, "Jian Shu, don't you hate this kind of intrigue in the palace?"
Suddenly, Roupin thought of something, relaxed her brows and said, "Have you figured it out after being bullied this time?"
"Well, since you have this idea, I will not stop you. But right now, the imperial concubine is the only one in the palace who has caught the emperor's eye."
Jian Shu's eyes flashed red, and then returned to normal. "Your Majesty, why do you think the imperial concubine is favored by the emperor?"
Recalling the appearance of the Imperial Concubine, Roupin felt depressed. "The Imperial Concubine is the most beautiful woman in the country. It is not surprising that she is favored by me. After all, such a beauty makes even a woman like me feel excited when I see her."
Ha, Jian Shu sneered in his heart, wondering what the concubine could use to seduce the prince once she lost her stunning beauty.
"My queen, please take good care of yourself and stop feeling sorry for yourself."
What a useless woman she is. She deserves to be bullied by the servants as a concubine in the harem.
Qiyuan Palace
The queen was wearing a comfortable brocade dress, leaning on the couch, with her chin in her hand and her eyes closed, resting her mind.
The maid beside her carefully massaged the empress's calves.
At this time, Nanny Qing came in from outside, dismissed all the servants in the room, and whispered to the empress, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chun sent someone to tell you that the Empress Dowager has begun to dislike the Imperial Concubine."
The queen slowly opened her eyes, her expression calm, "As expected, so what if I saved the emperor's life?"
"I just didn't expect that Concubine Chun would progress so quickly. She has only been in the palace for a few days and the Queen Mother has already trusted her completely."
Nanny Qing sighed worriedly, "Your Majesty, this Concubine Chun is too scheming. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will have trouble controlling her in the future. She will be even more difficult to deal with than the Imperial Concubine."
"Madam," the Queen raised her hand to interrupt Madam Qing, "I can't think too much. I hate her so much that I want to skin her alive."
"As for Concubine Chun... She still respects me very much. If she really becomes the next Imperial Concubine, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The Queen spoke with gritted teeth, letting Madam Qing know that no matter how much she tried to persuade her, it would be useless.
Aunt Qiao was bored and stayed in Qianlong Palace for many days. Finally, she got Wan Chengsi's permission to visit Yu Garden.
Not long after she walked around, a maid in dirty palace maid's clothes knelt in front of her.
"I am here to see the Imperial Concubine, and ask her to summon a doctor for Concubine Rou, as she is dying."
Aunt Qiao lowered her eyes and looked at the miserable maid, tilted her head and said, "Do you want me to help Concubine Rou to find a doctor?"
"Why don't you go directly to the Empress? After all, she is the master of the harem."
Jian Shu knelt on the ground with his forehead pressed tightly against the ground. "I have already begged the Empress, but I couldn't even see her."
"Please, Concubine Gui, I really have no other options. Concubine Rou is bedridden now. If this continues, I'm afraid she won't live long."
Aunt Qiao thought for a moment, then turned to Huan'er and said, "Take my badge and ask Doctor Yu to go to Yi'an Palace."
Upon hearing this, Jian Shu kowtowed with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Aunt Qiao waved her hands and said, "It's just a small matter, please leave."
Li Fuzhong, who was hiding in the dark, looked at Jian Shu who was walking away, frowning in confusion. This maid... was too inappropriate.
The incident in Yu Garden was soon reported to Wan Chengsi by Li Fuzhong.
"Your Majesty, this maid's name is Jian Shu, and she is Concubine Rou's personal maid. I did not find any evil spirit in her, but I always felt that she was very strange, but I couldn't tell where she was strange."
Wan Chengsi's eyes had a hint of sternness. "Since it's against the peace, just kill him."
Li Fuzhong rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Your Majesty, this is not our demon world. Frequent killing is not okay. You must control yourself. If you are rejected by the way of heaven, you will never see your wife again."
Wan Chengsi let out a sigh of frustration and said, "Forget it. Send more people to protect Madam. I will not feel at ease until Pu Xin is found."
"It seems that I need to quickly heal my demon soul, and then take my wife back to the demon world."
A wife-slave, truly a wife-slave. Li Fuzhong looks at these two greasy and crooked people every day, feeling so depressed. Although he is a fake eunuch now, he has no time to be carefree. Every day he is either on his way to do things for the king or on his way to protect his wife.
Wan Chengsi didn't understand Li Fuzhong's hardship at all. After giving instructions, Wan Chengsi flicked his sleeves and walked towards the door. "You take a look at the rest of the memorials. I'm going back to accompany my wife."
Li Fuzhong's face was wrinkled with bitterness, and he wished he could eat the memorial in front of him.
In the next few days, Jianshu did not do anything else. After Roupin's health improved, Jianshu often praised Qiao Jinjin to Roupin.
"Your Majesty, if it weren't for the kindness of the Concubine, you wouldn't have recovered so quickly."
Concubine Rou smiled softly and said, "I see. Your Majesty is kind-hearted. Jianshu, you have repeated this many times these days."
Jian Shu heard this and said, "I don't know how to repay the noble concubine."
Concubine Rou shook her head helplessly and said, "I am well now. I will make some cakes myself later. Please help me send them to the Royal Concubine to taste."
Jian Shu then grinned and said, "I will help you, Madam."
Jian Shu turned around and immediately his face drooped. There was no smile in his eyes anymore, only cruelty remained.
With Jian Shu's careful help, a plate of exquisite pastries was quickly prepared. Although the ingredients were not top-notch and the Imperial Concubine might not even look at it, in the eyes of Concubine Rou, this was her thoughtfulness.
After Jian Shu helped Concubine Rou to dress up, the master and servant went out carrying the food boxes.
When passing by Chang'an Palace, he met Concubine Chun sitting on a sedan chair.
Concubine Chun was a little confused. She had been in the palace for so long, but had never seen such a concubine in the harem.
"Your Majesty, this is Concubine Rou who has not been out for a long time."
Concubine Chun raised her eyebrows in understanding. "It's Concubine Rou. I'm sitting on a sedan chair and it's inconvenient for me to get off. Please forgive me."
Roupin shook her head without any temper and said "No problem"
Boring. No wonder she has no sense of presence in the harem.
Seeing that Concubine Rou was so soft-hearted, Concubine Chun no longer had the heart to provoke her. She waved her hand and left without even saying goodbye.
Jian Shu also hated her for not fighting back. If she hadn't overdrawn her demonic energy, how could she be so anxious to possess this recently dead palace maid? Everything was now very unfavorable to her.
